I'm tired of not sleeping. Up every 2 hours for a bathroom break, and I seem to get BH just from rolling over in bed these days. Also my husband's version of nesting is bugging me. I'd like to locate the baby carseat in the garage, see if it needs cleaning up and install the base tomorrow for MLK Day. Maybe locate and set up the swing. (I'd do it myself but they are in their boxes up in the rafters of the garage). He has decided to repaint the living room.
+1 to the heartburn and sleep issues. This week I'm officially on leave from work! So, that's exciting and absolutely scary. I also realized I still don't have a single bump picture that isn't a selfie or mirror pic. I've been bugging H to take pictures of me for weeks now but to no avail; there's always some reason not to. So I'm an emotional wreck over stupid pictures I'll feel self-conscious over anyway, which is fun. We'll probably put it off until I'm in labor at this rate, and half-ass the session because the cuter maternity clothes already barely fit. Also why is this the thing my brain is deciding to be anxious over at 3am?
+1 to the never ending heartburn and getting up to pee all night. At my next appointment, I'm considering asking the OB if there's a possibility in upping the dose or frequency of my Zantac.
In other news, as I was leaving the bathroom in MOTN, DS walked out his room to bring me one of his boogers.

We got our stroller yesterday, and all the many attachments! We put it all together and it drives like a dream, I love it.... then we clicked the carseat in and I just sat there and thought, "About one month and then I'll have a baby in there!" It is just boggling my mind in the best way.
I'm finally starting to feel prepared, too. I don't know if it's being done with big showers, or purchasing the last big item. Either way, yesterday afternoon I finally got that, "Ok, we're ready enough now that he can come when he's ready" feeling!

Same. I've caught myself saying "ok.. you can come out anytime now!" to my stomach. I'm at the miserable feeling stage. I've felt mostly good this entire pregnancy (unlike my last one which was a nightmare) but just within the last few weeks I've been in so much pain and I've hit the "ok I'm done with this noise" stage.
Last night, I was a ball of emotions and I went to Target by myself. Walked around for 2 hours aimlessly and bought a bunch of stuff I probably didn't need. Although I did get a little gift from the new baby to DD and I did get DDs Valentine's Day stuff and Valentine's Day cards for everyone. Then I went to Marshalls and got some hampers and baskets for the nursery and some slippers for labor and delivery. Ended the night with some delicious Chipotle. It was much needed alone time.
I'm officially entering the panic phase of nesting :-p House never sold so poor kid does not have a room of her own (not that she was going to be in there for several months anyway but it would be nice if it was already set up versus trying to do it later). Because of all the travelling and family events/holidays etc I haven't done much for this new baby. I suck :-p Still have to find the insert for the PNP and set it up in our room to serve as her crib, haven't pulled out and cleaned the carseat bases or baby swing from the basement yet either. I finally got around to laundering all the clothes we have for her but we don't have a dresser for her (hopefully this week!). I'm feeling a bit like I've failed this poor girl already :-p AND I keep feeling like she's coming early so even less time!
This weekend was so busy and I still feel like I have so much to do. Saturday we cleaned up the house a bit and put the PNP in our room and I stocked it up, I folded and organized the clothes I had washed for her, and we moved some boxes into the attic (which also meant moving junk from the previous owners out and taking it to the dump). Sunday we had a shower at church so we were gone basically all day. It was so sweet and this girl is not lacking for cute clothes! lol
Yesterday I was off work but we had to be up early for H's doctor appointment, then I went shopping for nursery curtains with my SIL, we all got lunch together, then went home and laid down because H had to go to work last night. I went right to sleep and didn't budge for 2 hours, then felt awful all night and went to bed early. The first thing my boss said to me this morning - "You look tired". I feel bad for not doing anything productive at work but this week is so short for me and everyday I'm still hoping she comes that day. Anything that's not done at home can be done later. I just don't care anymore and I'm counting down to Sunday night.
Trying to finish up important baby shopping this week. Online shopping is so much easier but I hate shipping charges, especially when you have to spend a high amount to not have to pay shipping.
@Spicyweiner I know the feeling! It's so hard to get an appointment with my stylist! One time I had to take my mom's dog to the vet because she accidentally double booked and didn't want to cancel her hair because we know how hard it is to get in with her haha.
I came into work early for a conference call this morning. It was a lot shorter than I had anticipated, so I set my alarm and took a cat nap in my back room! Pregnant lady win!
@Spicyweiner thank you for reminding me that I need to schedule a day of pampering pre induction. Can't be showing up with my chipped toenail polish from October and split ends from about the same time.
Seriously though I'm usually great about painting and keeping my own toenails polished, but I've failed miserably the last few months...
@Spicyweiner I have the same priorities. I scheduled my NST around my hair appointment this week too! But @kirstynikole is right -- I should get a pedicure too ;-P
I got a pedicure Sunday with my best friend from out of town, and last night we had Chipotle for dinner. I realized that was like 2/3 of the things that happened right before labor with my daughter. . . Panicking a bit.
My nursery is finally painted, I am washing and prepping all the things, and as much as pregnancy is starting to suck, I really need him to stay in a couple more weeks at least. There is so much going on! Multiple people have remarked on how I have dropped and I had dull cramping all day yesterday. Beginning of the end. . . .

I got a haircut with straight bangs and while it looks cute I'm having some serious regrets. There is way to much upkeep that comes with straight bangs and right before I have a baby? I think I've lost my damn mind. I plan to get a cut shortly after baby is here and change it to side bangs and grow it back out or something. Newborn + any sort of maintenance hair = no good

Wait wait - why are bangs bad with a newborn? Bangs are my look (I've got a big forehead ha ha!) - and I always think they are pretty easy to style and make you look put together even if hair is just pulled back in a messy bun? Too much work with a baby?
Should I be self conscious about my ridiculously swollen feet and not get a pedi? Last one was late November...
Do not be self conscious, it is the best time to get a pedi when feet are swollen. Just got my done on sunday and ooh my gosh my feet were loving the massage part. I was in heaven, so worth it.
I go between side bangs and full bangs (big forehead too) and the only extra work is mine can get greasier faster than the rest of my head. But, you can always do the wash in the sink trick. I agree with @MissMerciBeaucoup though, they do look a little more polished!

I really need to go get a hair cut before this baby comes. I used to be so good about getting regular trims when I dyed my hair regularly but I haven't dyed my hair in over a year and I'm pretty sure last time I got my hair cut was last spring. I still haven't found a place I really like since I moved to Maine 4 years ago. I miss my old hair dresser.
I should probably save this for UO Thursday but I'll forget it by then so here it is, I hate pedicures. I've tried twice and both times it was just weird. I hate people touching my feet though so that's probably why. I'm fine painting my own toe nails though I haven't in a while. I don't plan on it before this kid gets here, I highly doubt anyone will be caring about my toenail color in the delivery room lol.

I rescheduled my NST yesterday so I could get my hair done. Priorities.
I was supposed to be induced today, i specifically asked for today rather than yesterday as i had a hair appointment booked for yesterday! Needless to say i had to cancel so my greys wont be covered again now for a wile!
My friend expressed to me that she felt as though I've been pregnant forever and she's ready for me to not be pregnant anymore. She feels like I've been pregnant forever? Like, I'm so sorry? However can I make this process easier for you?
i desperately need a pedicure. add that to my list. I am also planning on getting my hair braided this week, so I don't have to deal with it for the first 2 months. While I love my natural hair it requires a lot of attention and upkeep and I just wont have the time or energy.
Although I have had strong feeling menstrual cramps all day.Hoping I he stays put until after my hair is done...

I don't mind the bangs and I think they look cute, but personally I feel that I look weird with my hair up with straight bangs. I have now had to either straighten or curl my hair all the time (mostly straighten cause it's faster) and it's just a lot more upkeep. I miss being able to throw it up every once and a while. I think with a newborn it's gonna be a total PITA and I'll hate it.
@LivingLaVidaGinger I had a coworker tell me that. I'm like, "Really? No shit..9 mos IS a long time!". I isn't say that, I just nodded and said "Yup", but I definitely thought it. I told DH I'm waiting for the dreaded "Are you sure you're not having twins?" question and now he asks me that all the time

@LivingLaVidaGinger lmao oh man that sounds like something my older sister would say. I'm guessing this friend hasn't had children yet?
My sister's most recent WTF comment was on Christmas eve, she said that changing my son's pee diaper on the guestbed (with a changing mat) was f*ing disgusting. Right.

Then he brought some art from school but told me one of them wasn't art but his teacher just needed to keep them busy.
But I did.
